Northwestern University: Ryan Field
Northwestern games see top teams in the country playing on their home field. This only serves to highlight the troubled stadium as even these games do not draw crowds that might bring the venue anywhere near capacity. The Wildcats are a strong contender in the world of college football, and this makes the fact that their home stadium has seen absolutely no renovation in over 20 years all the more jarring. The stadium’s shortcoming comes by way of frustration, as it offers fantastic sightlines, but awful amenities and concessions.
University of Kansas: David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium
Built-in 1920, Kansas Memorial Stadium is one of the oldest in college football. Commemorating the tragic loss of students who lost their lives in WW1. The historic significance is put to shame by poor upkeep. In need of various upgrades, the amenities are a source of complaint amongst visitors. Inconvenient concession stands and a lack of enthusiasm and atmosphere on game days play a further role in the negative perception of the stadium. The seats and views are a further cause for complaint amongst attendees.
